    Hi Guys
    I'm buying something on ebay- organising my own courier- what firm should I get and also, anything to be wary of ? It's UK- Ireland delivery.

    Thanks for any assistance/comments.

    Out of curiosity why are you organising your own courier ?
    If it is a local pickup that maybe fine, but be careful of dealing with seller outside ebay.

    Yes it's collection- I've traded emails with the seller. He's selling a chair- doesn't have experience of organising couriers but is happy for me to do so. I believe he's legitimate from his emails and also his feedback - thanks.

    Thanks guys- I didn’t win the eBay bid but have started to educate myself on all things DIY shipping
    I posted the “job” on Shiply and Anyvan and got a wide range of quotes. Are there any threads on boards.ie about these companies and user experiences/ dos and donts?
    I’d value boardsies opinions as they’re normally spot on

    I shipped with these guys a couple of times, they give you quotes from various companies and you can compare price, speed, convenience etc.. They send label details which I forwarded to seller to print as a sticky label.....
